Yep fuck the DOD off - at 140,000 I'd give it a birthday before putting it in anyway

There's now 2 running 64's on PF with the 6L80E in them... I've only done ~50km in mine so far sorting a couple of teething issues with the new brake setup but no clearance issues with the bigger box at all, definitely put it all in!

Thinking of getting it running and enjoying the thing for a bit before a birthday. Its been almost as long in the making as yours.

Yep everyone reckons they know and don't get me wrong next to a 4l60 it's a massive fucking cunt of a thing but the bellhousing is the same size and it all seems to fit except one tab i removed. I also lopped off the threaded end and removed the rubber donut from the back of the box as you can run a normal turbo 400 joint off to save room as the donut would have hit the floor, mocking up the stock tailshaft to the t400 joint it eyeball looks ok, I've got another Belair here with a stock motor and box at the moment so I'm planning to double check, just need my 9" finished to get the tailshaft done and see if I am a winner or loser... either way, you won't need a whole commodore floor, massive overkill

Hey Mate

Are you able to give me any info on what you did to replace the donut with the turbo 400 yoke/ uni? Im in the process of putting a L98 and 6L80E in to a 1982 XJ6 Jaguar and would prefer to run 1 piece shaft with unit rather than stuff around with the donut at the back of the box.

Ive read conflicting commentary on which yoke to use, which length, changing seal, not changing seals...is there a simple solution?

The output shaft is a lot longer than an inch - even the end section that would need to be removed is longer than that. As for how could cutting this off with a grinder cause the end of the shaft to be out of balance...I'll leave this alone.

Problem solved - Ive ordered a Sonnax 3 bolt adapter flange yoke from Jegs in the US which will arrive late next week. $240 including express shipping from the US is a better option than stuffing around cutting output shafts and sourcing a correct length TH400 yoke.
